In January, we take time to recognize National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The crime of human trafficking thrives on silence and obscurity, and this month seeks to raise awareness about human trafficking, acknowledge the resilience of survivors, and recognize the efforts of anti-trafficking service providers throughout the country.
Human trafficking, sometimes called modern-day slavery, is the practice of traffickers using force, fraud, or coercion to compel victims to engage in commercial sex or forced labor. It is a global issue with lasting traumatic impact on communities and individuals that is still not fully understood. As awareness grows, so too has interest in helping those being trafficked.

Knowing what to expect can help reduce surprises and help you make the best decisions for yourself and your family.
